The student and youth riots that have caused more than one billion dollars in property damage in Greece over the last week have flared again.
On Saturday evening, exactly one week after fifteen-year-old Alexandros Grigoropoulos was shot and killed by police, youths threw gasoline bombs and rocks at the station where the officer charged with the shooting was based. The violence quickly spread to other parts of Athens, and other Greek cities saw rioting that night as well.
It has been reported that police stockpiles of teargas are nearly depleted nationwide, and that the government is appealing to other nations for donations to replenish supplies.
